IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

This website has been prepared by Insight North America LLC (INA), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and regulated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. INA is part of “Insight” or “Insight Investment”, the corporate brand for certain asset management companies operated by Insight Investment Management Limited including, among others, Insight Investment Management (Global) Limited and Insight Investment International Limited.

Opinions expressed herein are current opinions of Insight, and are subject to change without notice. Insight assumes no responsibility to update such information or to notify a client of any changes. Any outlooks, forecasts or portfolio weightings presented herein are as of the date appearing on this material only and are also subject to change without notice. Insight disclaims any responsibility to update such views. No forecasts can be guaranteed.

Nothing on this website is intended to constitute an offer or solicitation to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any product or service (nor shall any product or service be offered or sold to any person) in any jurisdiction in which either (a) INA is not licensed to conduct business, and/or (b) an offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unavailable or unlawful.

Information shown should not be duplicated, amended, or forwarded to a third party without consent from INA. The information shown is intended for institutional investors only and should not be made available to or relied upon by retail investors. This material is provided for general information only and should not be construed as investment advice or a recommendation. You should consult with your adviser to determine whether any particular investment strategy is appropriate.

Assets under management are represented by the value of cash securities and other economic exposures, and are calculated on a gross notional basis. Regulatory assets under management without exposures shown can be provided upon request. Unless otherwise specified, the performance shown herein is that of Insight Investment (for Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®), the ‘firm’) and not specifically of INA. See the GIPS® composite disclosure page for important information and related disclosures about firm performance.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance, which will vary. The value of investments and any income from them will fluctuate and is not guaranteed (this may partly be due to exchange rate changes). Future returns are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur. Ownership interests in a fund are not insured by the FDIC, are not deposits, obligations of, or endorsed or guaranteed in any way, by BNY Mellon (as further defined below). Neither BNY Mellon nor any of its controlled affiliates (which includes any fund’s general manager/ managing partner/ investment adviser), may directly or indirectly, guarantee, assume, or otherwise insure the obligations or performance of the fund or of any other covered fund in which such fund invests.

Targeted returns intend to demonstrate that the strategy is managed in such a manner as to seek to achieve the target return over a normal market cycle based on what Insight has observed in the market, generally, over the course of an investment cycle. In no circumstances should the targeted returns be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction that a specific strategy will reflect any particular performance or that it will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular result or that investors will be able to avoid losses, including total losses of their investment.

Certain information shown herein is derived from a representative account deemed to appropriately represent the management styles herein. Each investor’s portfolio is individually managed and will vary from the information shown. The mention of a specific security is not a recommendation to buy or sell such security. The specific securities identified are not representative of all the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients. It should not be assumed that an investment in the securities identified will be profitable. Actual holdings will vary for each client and there is no guarantee that a particular client’s account will hold any or all of the securities listed.

The quoted benchmarks do not reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes, nor reinvestment of interest payments and other forms of income. These benchmarks are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Benchmark performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of any investment strategy. There may be material factors relevant to any such comparison such as differences in volatility, security selection, risk profiles and regulatory and legal restrictions between a particular strategy and its associated benchmark.

Transactions in foreign securities may be executed and settled in local markets. Performance comparisons will be affected by changes in interest rates. Investment returns fluctuate due to changes in market conditions. Investment involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. No assurance can be given that the performance objectives of a given strategy will be achieved.

Insight does not provide tax or legal advice to its clients and all investors are strongly urged to consult their tax and legal advisors regarding any potential strategy or investment.

Information herein may contain, include or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, specifically Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include all statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address future activities, events or developments, including without limitation, business or investment strategy or measures to implement strategy, competitive strengths, goals expansion and growth of our business, plans, prospects and references to future or success. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other similar words are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining our actual future results or outcomes. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual results or outcomes may vary materially. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Responsible investment in farmland

Contact Us

Please read important information about Insight's data collection policies HERE before sharing your personal information with us on email.

Farmland is gradually becoming a mainstream allocation option for many institutional investors due to its potential for cash generation and real long-term growth, with low correlations to mainstream assets and exposure to attractive supply/demand dynamics.

Farmland is one of the essential supporting pillars of the global population and economy and is central to many lives and communities: it is therefore crucial that any investment is responsible and sustainable.

Given that farming is chronically and increasingly undercapitalized and further given that farmland projects lend themselves, by their very nature, to the pursuit of sustainable development goals, investors providing the required capital have the ability to adopt a ‘value-add’ approach, with measurable and auditable ESG metrics.

Environmental and social considerations feature prominently in farmland investments that Insight oversees. Insight has detailed due diligence procedures incorporating these principles and an independent SRI Committee provides input into different aspects when appropriate.

ESG Guidelines aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

As part of our commitment to responsible investing, and as one of the signatories of the PRI in Farmland and founding signatories of the UN-supported PRI, our approach to farmland is based on aiming to maximize value creation without compromising responsible and sustainable principles. We believe that we have a unique approach to farmland investing, emphasizing strategies that create economic value through disciplined execution alongside a strong commitment to sustainable and responsible farming practices.

Insight has identified a number of key objectives within an ESG framework:

We have aligned a responsible Investing approach with the evolving Farmland investment strategy and with Insight’s Responsible Investing Framework

We will develop an appropriate mitigation path to report against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and use ESG frameworks to deliver against relevant SDG goals

We will identify appropriate auditable, quantitative and qualitative key value-add indicators which highlight relevant impact objectives. Annual independent ESG audits will be performed by an independent “Big 4” audit group

We will provide alignment with investors’ and supply chain partners’ RI policies and procedures

Further information

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment in any strategy involves a risk of loss which may partly be due to exchange rate fluctuations.

The performance results shown, whether net or gross of investment management fees, reflect the reinvestment of dividends and/or income and other earnings. Any gross of fees performance does not include fees and charges and these can have a material detrimental effect on the performance of an investment.

Any target performance aims are not a guarantee, may not be achieved and a capital loss may occur. Strategies which have a higher performance aim generally take more risk to achieve this and so have a greater potential for the returns to be significantly different than expected.

Portfolio holdings and allocations are subject to change, for information only and are not investment recommendations. Each account is individually managed, and portfolio allocations could differ from what is presented herein.

Farmland is exposed to the impact of government policy. Subsidies, renewable fuels, trade agreements and attitudes to ownership rights can vary between markets, and may change over time. Farmland is an inherently illiquid asset subject to the range of risks associated with primary production. Land values, like commodities, will experience large deviations from the equilibrium as a result of a range of market forces such as returns across other assets, level of interest rates, and investor sentiment.

Investments in emerging markets can be less liquid and riskier than more developed markets and difficulties in accounting, dealing, settlement and custody may arise.

The investment manager may invest in instruments which can be difficult to sell when markets are stressed.
